Marriage to a Mosotho Citizen

Every country has its own laws that apply to its citizens marrying a person from a different country. Getting married to a Mosotho citizen with the goal of eventually bringing them to Canada to live is a process with many steps.

If you want to bring your Mosotho spouse or partner to live in Canada, you must then file a sponsorship application for them to become a permanent resident. If they would like to visit you in Canada while their application is in process, they must also apply for a visitor visa. For more information, please see our family sponsorship page and our visitor visa page.

Mosotho Marriage Basic Requirements

In order to marry a citizen of Lesotho, you must demonstrate to the Mosotho government that you are eligible to do so. This includes:

Mosotho Marriage Ceremony

The marriage ceremony to a Mosotho citizen can legally take place in Lesotho, Canada, or any other country as long as both parties have the necessary visas to enter this country legally. This marriage can then be recognized when applying for a permanent residence or a visitor visa for your Mosotho spouse.

Family Members

If your Mosotho spouse has dependent children, this does not affect the Mosotho Marriage document application.
